Guo Guo

Over a day of landscaping work, a first generation African American and his immigrant father have their tense relationship and different outlooks on life transformed irreversibly when they are racially profiled by police.

Mixing narrative, experimental, and vérité footage, director Yu Gu explores themes of exile, art, and family in this touching documentary. In the process, she discovers that the desire for freedom of speech is a force that unites three generations of her family.
